Procession from the Matsu Temple in Lukang, Taiwan
The music in this procession is amazing, and the tall figures with swinging arms are a sight. We love the bored looking troop of kids at the tail end. Taken outside the Matsu Temple in Lukang, Taiwan.
Lukang Tour (Taiwan)
Lukang or Lugang / 鹿港 is an urban township in northwestern Changhua County, Taiwan. The township is on the west coast of Taiwan, facing the Taiwan Strait. The township's name came from the port's trade of deerskins during the Dutch period. Lukang was an important sea port in the 18th century and 19th century. It was the most populous city in central Taiwan until the early 20th century. In March 2012, it was named one of the Top 10 Small Tourist Towns by the Tourism Bureau of Taiwan.
The township's name came from the port's trade of deerskins during the Dutch period. Its old Taiwanese name was Lok-a-kang (鹿仔港) and its shortened version is seen in English texts and maps as variants such as Lok-kang, Lokang and Lo-kiang. In 2011, the Ministry of Interior decided to keep the historical Wade-Giles spelling Lukang and abandon the change to the Pinyin spelling Lugang that had been gradually taking place since Taiwan switched to Pinyin in 2009.
During the Qing Dynasty, the depth of Lukang's harbour and its proximity to Fujian province on mainland China made Lukang an important trading port. During Lukang's heyday from 1785 to 1845, Lukang's population reached 20,000. Lukang was Taiwan's second largest city after current Tainan and was larger than Bangka (now a district of Taipei), then the island's third-largest city.
The subsequent silting of the harbour and the city's refusal to allow railroads to pass through the city led to losses in trade in commerce, which, in turn led to Lukang's decline relative to other cities, which were experiencing considerable urbanization and population growth. This same decline, however, averted the modernization processes that demolished historical buildings in Tainan and Taipei, leaving Lukang preserved as it was in its heyday.
During the period of Japanese rule, the city was Taiwan's fifth most populous city, with a population of 19,805 according to the December 1904 census. The Hoklo people in the area were predominantly of Xiamen and Quanzhou origin, thereby speaking the Quanzhou dialect of Hokkien. Nanguan music is highly popular in Lukang and originates from Quanzhou.
In 1920, Lukang was governed as Rokkō Town (鹿港街) under Shōka District of Taichū Prefecture.
There are still many old temples in Lukang, such as Longshan Temple and Matzu Temple. The city boasts over 200 temples dedicated to a wide variety of folk deities. The town is also the origin of the terms ē-káng (下港) and téng-káng (頂港) used respectively to refer to southern Taiwan and northern Taiwan; the literal meanings of the terms are below the harbor and above the harbor.
The Yuzhenzhai (玉珍齋) cakes are famous local specialties, as well as Lukang's Ox Tongue Cakes (牛舌餅) and oyster pancakes.
Lukang Wen Wu Temple / 鹿港文武廟 (Lukang / 鹿港)
The Lukang Wen Wu Temple / 鹿港文武廟 consists of three separate halls: Wenkai Academy on the left, Shrine of Literature in the middle (Wenchang Shrine), and Martial Temple on the right, where the God of Literature and the God of War are both venerated in the same temple complex. Together with Longshan Temple and Mazu Temple, the traditional Wenkai Academy here is named one of the three major historic sites in Lukang. This is a temple with great aesthetic values, sheer elegance and visual appeal — a not-to-be-missed spot for cultural and historical buffs out there.
The Shrine of Literature and the Martial Temple both have two halls with an enclosed courtyard. It is fronted by a half-moon-shaped pond. Before taking the civil service examination, every candidate followed the ancient rites and picked a parsley leaf from the pond to put it on his hat. If he ever passed the examination, he must return to the Shrine of Literature and visit the pond to express his gratitude. An ancient well sits between the Shrine of Literature and the Martial Temple, where the best water is believed to be bubbling out of the ground and makes the best tea ever. The academy was a cradle of culture in Lukang, and its sizeable architecture allows you to have a glimpse into the thriving past when literary community was at its height.

Famous Matsu Temple, Goddess of The Sea Lukang, Taiwan
Matsu, also known as Mazu, is dedicated to the Chinese goddess of the sea who is said to protect fishermen and sailors. This flamboyantly decorated Taoist temple is divided into three halls and two courtyards. Filled at all hours with people burning incense and joss sticks to the gods and trying to divine the future, the Lukang temple is one of the most important in Taiwan.
There is even a Matsu pilgrimage yearly during which a statue of Matsu is carried 350 kilometers/217 miles around the island over an eight-day period! Can you just imagine that sight?
Longshan Temple
Founded in 1738, Longshan Temple is one of the premier temples of northern Taiwan, and a must-visit site if you are in Taipei. It's dedicated to the bodhisattva Guanyin, whose statue is enshrined in the central sanctuary. Many other deities are represented here, including Mazu (goddess of the sea), Wenchang Dijun (god of scholars and exams), Guan Gong (god of war and brotherhood), and the Old Man Under the Moon (god of love and matchmaking); they each have their own niche in parts of the temple. Mazu occupies the central position in the rear sanctuary.
In this temple, like in many temples in Taiwan, people consult the gods on matters of importance in their lives by casting red wooden divining blocks. If they fall in the right configuration, the worshipper then draws lots, and the resulting number tells them which drawer to open in a cabinet; the drawer contains a slip of paper that tells them what the god has to say to them.

Longshan Temple to ban lighting of candles starting May 1
The historic Lungshan Temple in Taipei will ban the lighting of candles on May 1. Temple administrators said the decision was prompted by environmental concerns and the April 15 fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Worshippers at the 280-year-old temple are reacting favorably to the ban, although a few say it will take getting used to. Soon the iconic scenes of a candlelit Lungshan Temple will become a thing of the past. Here at Wanhua''s Lungshan Temple, it''s an endless stream of worshippers. Each one lights a stick of incense.Many devotees also light red candles in a prayer for peace and serenity. But that''s soon to change. The temple has put up a notice that the lighting of candles will be banned starting May 1. Most of the worshippers say they accept the decision.Traditional candles are not eco-friendly and can cause burn injuries. Candle wax is also difficult to remove from surfaces, said temple administrators, who are considering a switch to flameless candles.Fan Tien-chengFumin borough wardenIt just happens that this year is the 280th year since the temple''s founding. They are taking advantage of this 280th anniversary to make a meaningful change.Lungshan Temple, which attracts 2 million visitors a year, banned the burning of paper money in 2000. In 2015, it cut its number of furnaces from seven to three. In 2017, it lowered the furnace count to just one, in an ongoing campaign to balance worship and environmental protection.
Taiwan's Best Kept Secret!
So excited about this vlog! Well, except for that part where my lip is swollen and I look like a plastic surgery gone wrong.
But besides that! This vlog includes an entire town that goes to bed before 8 pm, the cutest dog in the world, paper lantern heaven, a social call of the gods, and a lot more!

Wondering how Jenni travels the world? She talks about it here, I think it's so fascinating!

**To the people interested in what happened to my lip, I actually don't have much more information. But I figured out that it was an allergic reaction to an insect bite. During my stay in Lukang, I got three other bites (on finger, hand, and arm) which all swelled up in the same way. They didn't itch or hurt at all, but had a tiny red dot in the center. All went away within 36 hours. The end.**
